ForSea Ferries emerged from its predecessor company HH-Ferries, which was founded in 1996 and has used the name ForSea Ferries since 2018. The company is headquartered in the Swedish port city of Helsingborg.ForSea Ferries is limited to a single route, the crossing of the Kattegat from the port of Elsinore in the far northeast of the Danish Baltic Sea island of Zealand to Helsingborg on the Swedish west coast. At only around four kilometers, this route is the shortest sea connection between these two countries and, despite the road link across the Öresund Bridge opened in 2000, is still one of the most important ferry connections in the Baltic Sea. Especially for freight traffic from the greater Copenhagen area towards central and northern Sweden, the ferry is a time-saving alternative to the trip across the Öresund Bridge.

ForSea Ferries operates this route with an exceptionally high frequency: with two to three departures per hour all year round and around 55 departures per day (around the clock on weekdays), this is one of the busiest ferry routes in Europe. As this route is mainly used for commercial purposes, the timetable is significantly reduced on Saturdays and Sundays with around 20 departures. In addition to the public schedule, ForSea Ferries also offers additional trips for truck transport.

ForSea Ferries operates a fleet of five vessels with capacities ranging from 380 to 1100 passengers. Two of them, the "Aurora" and the "Tycho Brahe", are electrically powered, giving the company an exceptionally good environmental performance. In keeping with the short journey time of only 20 minutes, the facilities on board are rather reduced; there are no cabins, for example, and catering is limited to a simple café on most of the ships, only the "Aurora" also has a restaurant.
